Thanks,

We should still specify Aligned if the corresponding AVX instruction requires an aligned operand. ISTR that this is not the case for MOVNTDQ, so your patch is correct. I'll check the SDM more carefully next Monday.


The explicitly aligned/unaligned instructions have an A or a U to indicate this (e.g. MOVDQU = explicitly unaligned, MOVDQA = explicitly aligned, MOVNTDQ = default).
